RE: [Ethnoornithology] Call for Papers - SoE conference April 2009
Just got a review copy of Krech’s
Spirits of the Air: Birds & American Indians in the South. Looks
fantastic. I’ll post a link to my review when I’ve got it up on
one of my blogs. Cheers!

for Papers - SoE conference April 2009
Dear all,
Just a quick note to see if there is sufficient intererst for me to
propose a symposium session on Ethnoornithology at this Year's Society
of Ethnobiology conference.
We have had dedicated ethnoorn session at the past two SoE conferences
- both have provided good opportunities to meet and greet fellow
workers in this field and also to see the work that senior and
emergent researchers have been doing.
I have already had expressions of interest from several people
interested in involvement but want to cast the net a bit wider to see
if there are others interested.
The final date for the submission of Abstracts is February 2nd 2009.
